HEY ALL! I'M SIMONEEEEEEE

Hey All!

Just wanted to introduce myself! I’m Simonee (pronounced Simone with the”E”). I’m the director of the soon to be released documentary, Because I am a Girl which will make its pink carpet premiere in the spring of 2010. But in the meantime we’re still looking for candidates to take part in this movie so listen up… It’s and exciting documentary spearheaded by Plan Canada to ensure a global movement for change and you – YES YOU – can help by sharing your stories, concerns and ideas! Did you know that NO COUNTRY HAS EMERGED FROM POVERTY WITHOUT INVESTING IN ITS GIRLS and yet girls are still the most disadvantaged people on the planet?!?!

As part of the documentary team, I psyched to be heading on a cross-country Canadian tour to talk to girls, mothers, fathers and boys about adversities facing girls throughout the world. The documentary team (Liz, Jon, Torey and myself) believe that awareness combined with action, one person at a time, can change the world. So come with us, metaphysically speaking, head to the website regularly to follow our journey, know where we are and drive ACTION! You can send me a note, post your own blog and add your own video. We’ll be aboard our trusty caravan and head to Toronto, Ottawa, Quebec, Halifax, Vancouver, Calgary, Saskatoon and Winnipeg in the coming month and you can join us on the site. When we get to your city – we’ll want to meet and HEAR from you and together we’ll inevitably make a fantabulous difference.

Talk soon,

Simonee
